PRESIDENT CREWS son-in-law, NJ. Viii
son, has done one thing most effectually
he has knocked the poetry and romance
for the future out of the sentiment attach
ing to the decoration of the " Legion of
Honor" As significant of anything under
the Republic it has no particular value.
As the New York Post remarks, it is a
relic of the days of monarchy, and chow
ever well adapted to satisfy the cravings
of French human nature, cannot be prop
erly managed by republican government.
What it signi6ed in the beginning, and in
monarchial countries signifies to this day,
is that the wearer has in some way merited
the special favor of the sovereign. 1t may
mean more than this; it may mean that
he has attained marked eminence in some
field of human activity, but it means first
and foremost, and may mean only, that the
King or Emperor likes him, or at some
time wished to crafty him."

THE Los Angeles Herald say Los An
geles merchants and business men gener-
ally need not be informed of the hostile
animus developed toward their section by
a very large proportion of the press in San
Francisco, and all through the bay coun-
ties. This is purile. There is no truth in
it. We have read the San Francisco and
bay press diligently and have failed to dis
cover any evidences of animosity against
the south. We fear that our southern
friends are apt to estimate all the press as
enemies that do not devote their columns
wholly to praise of southern sections.
Does it every occur to the Los Angeles
people that local interest should first COM
mand the attention of the local press?

4 dance had Just ceased as we arrived,
and we took our seats in placid ignorance
of what was in store for us. Presently the
squeak of the fiddle was heard, and in
stantly the ladies rushed in search of
partners. There was 4 great move in the
direction of the two Swedes and the rest of
the party, and as became modest old

no time to be lost. The seal hunter, the
American niger, and the tall Swede were
already hard at it, and slipping my arm

plunged blindly into the dance The
affair was simple enough at first The
dance merely consisted in shutting slowly
around the room side by side, the gentle
man with his left arm free, the lady ac-
companying the music with a sort of
monotonous chant. Time was of no par
ticular object, and smoking was permitted
and as we had partaken neither of the
cranberries nor the corn brandy, we felt as
well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. 1t was not for long, however

clapped hands; and, short and stern, the

worst policy imaginable to allow the or
gained militia to fall into decline, and
on this point General Sheridan is clear
sighted. He knows better than any living
man, if we except only Sherman, what a
fearful cost is involved when necessity
makes call, to organize an army out of
raw recruits True economy advises
that the militia organizations be kept up
to high standard, that when need de-
mands there may be force that can be re-
liedupon for instant action. Where such
force is composed of citizens of every day
business life, there is not only no danger
of over cultivation of the military spirit,
but there is absolute conservation of peace
and order by the thoroughness with which
the militia is organized, drilled and taught
in the school of the soldier With war
upon our hands there would be no need to
stimulate the military spirit, but in piping
peace it is necessary that the Government
and the people manifest an approving in
terest in the men who, without reward or
the hope of it, maintain the National
Guard organizations. Except in New
York and Massachusetts, the States
do comparatively little to encourage the
training of citizen soldiers, and the people
individually do less, and manifest very lit
tie interest in the Guard Yet it is true
that its existence is one of the factors OF
order, and when lawlessness threatens, the
people turn to the militia organizations
and anxiously inquire into their strength,
arms and efficiency. The fathers were
more far-sighted than we of this day. They
realized that we'll organized militia force
is essential to the peace and order Of COM
munities, and they so expressed their con-
victions in the source and fountain OF our
free system General Sheridan is no
holiday soldier; he is not wholly free
from the pride of his station and the ex-
clusiyeness that affiicts the regular army
officer but he is wise enough to know and
express his appreciation of the organized
militia, and to urge upon Congress the ne
cessity of fostering it.

A CORRESPONDENT very pointedly asks
in the Cleveland Leader why frauds against
the bailot-box and the rights of the freed
men are allowed to go unpublished in the
South. The Leader refers the inquirer to
President Cleveland, and proceeds to
charge that few of the Senators or Repre-
sentatives in Congress from the South have
any legal right to their seats, because of
the frauds perpetrated through which they
gained their places. This is putting it
very strongly, and dealing extravagantly
with a subject grave enough at best.
Nevertheless, it is unquestionably true
that we would have different results if the
negro vote in the South was wholly free
from coercive influences. If the black
man remains away from the polls through
fear of injury to his business, or depriva-
ton of employment, or from fear of per-
sonal violence, or of persecution, the cleo
ton is not thereby invalidated. If he is
by personal application of force prevented
from voting, that is such interference as
ought to negative the victory of his foes.
But in morals the cases are on all fours,
and it is shameful that it is true the negro
vote is not given full and free opportunity
to express itself; and the Democratic party
is the body which the country must hold
responsible for the shame. The Leade,
says:
No despot anywhere in Europe has during
the past century at least, been guilty of such
crimes against the people as the political oil
garchy of the South. Whether, as our CORE
spondent asks, 1--WE are arrant towards" in
submitting to these wrongs, is easily answered.
No one familiar with American history will
accuse the people of the North of cowardice.
They may be slow TO move, but they viii not
much longer sleep under the spell of Southern
despotism. The representation of the South in
Congress and in the Electoral College VIII be
cut down or Southern Republicans will be gwen
an honest vote and fair count. The Demo-
cratic party in the North is directly responsible
for these wrongs in the South. 1t excuses them,
defends their perpetrators, accepts the political
triumphs which they procure and does all in
its power to perpetuate them. The first step to
be taken in overthrowing the Southern oil
garchy is to defeat the Democratic party in the

THE COINAGE OF 1S04.-There is some
thing curious about the American silver
dollar and half dollars OF the coinage of
1904. In that year something like 10000
of the dollars were coined but it is sin
gular fact, as is now known, that not one
of them was in circulation. Yet the most
valuable of all American coins are two
1904 dollars which are now in well known
collections. They are valued at $1,000
each.-Gicaso Herald.

SAYS a Cleveland paper: "There has
been marked improvement of business
of all kinds in Chicago since the hanging
of the Anarchists. The execution has de-
monstrated the competency of the law and
the purpose of the authorities to maintain
order, and general confidence has been re-
stored" What then have the fearful souls
to say who begged for the lives of the MUIR
derers to be spared, because of the fear that
if they were hanged Chicago would be laid
in ashes, and her people in their graves?

We may look for the Monarchists to throw
all manner of obstacles in the way to the
choosing of a strong man-in fact, no name
has been proposed that will give assurance
to the people of firmness, or ability to fill
the position. Look at it as we may, the
outlook for the French Republic is gloomy,
and its friends have reason to be sad and
fearful.

DUBLIN, Ten, March :, 1857.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
In looking over your issues Of the Sd
and Atm inst, l notice in your railroad
news that the Austin and Northwestern of
Burnet is anxious for a connection with
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande, and the
route suggested would be through Lam
passs, Hamilton and on through AleXan-
der to a connection with the Fort Worth
and Rio Graude at Stephenville. Allow me
to suggest through your valuable medium
better and more practicable route for
this connection to be at this point instead
of StephenvilIe for the following reasons,
viz: In the first place the distance is
about ten miles shorter than to Stephen
vile; the route from Hamilton here COM
ing up the valley of Restley's creek would
be through a fine country and easily built,
whereas the route from Hamilton to
Stephenville would be over q
very rough billy country with numer-
Gus creeks, etc, to cross, which
would all be avoided the other wsy. Sec
ordly, this is finely wstered town along
the Central Road. There being O btaiDable

NEW YORK, March 9.-The immedi-
ate effect of the announcement of the new
railroad deal upon stocks was to advance
them at the opening, but the high figures
brought about heavy realiz9tiOns and the
Improvement lasted but short time.
The stocks interested in the deal were the
leaders of the market, but all of them dis
played more weakness than the general
list. Western Union was first in import
anCe. The quarterly statement was
somewhat disappointing and the
issue of new stock for the scrip
issued some time ago was looked
upon with disfavor and the stock
declined about per cent. Richmond and
West Point synnsthized closely with the
movements in Western Union. The ru-
NOR that the new issue of bonds IS to pay
for Baltimore and ohio stock was telling
Of &c TNrin 1lprfs in hnr
ever, were much smaller than those in
Western Union. Reading and Jersey
Central were also weak, the latter
especially so. Outside of the stocks
above mentioned movements were slight
and unlmportant. The opening this morn
ing was decidedly strong, with advances
over last evenings final figures ranging
from to per cent. latter in Western
Union. The stocks concerned in the Bal
timore and Ohio deal only were active,
the remainder being quiet or dull.
The advances of the opening were not
maintained, and the entire list soon showed
8 sagging tendency. After the first hour
s period OF comparative dullness and
steadiness was had, but the market soon
gave way again and Che sagging continued
throughout the afternoon until near p.
M, when Western UIion and Richmond
and West Point displayed decided weak
ness, and the downward movement was
accelerated, the close being weak
at about the lowest figures reached !
